Thats what the ones with physical buttons do have.

Not viable with a touch screen tho.

SO DONT HAVE JUST A TOUCH SCREEEN

NOT A VIABLE WAY TO DO A SMARTPHONE.

Makes more sense to swipe an icon on the touch screen.

No, It makes no more sense than tapping a button, or an icon, or
shaking the thing volently and throwing it against the wall


All the mobile interfaces are obscure. I bought a (very non-smart)
phone in 2003 and had to go back into the shop to ask how to turn it
on. You press *and hold* the red "hang up" button. Who would think of
that? (There was a 1/0 power symbol on the button but it was *very*
tiny.)

There is no such thing as an 'intuitive' user interface to anything.

Its all convention.
But smart phones are probably te worst piece of tech to surface yet



Too smart for you?
